Ok,

Let me get this correct then. The steps for me should then be:

1) get 2.2.8 src for my 2.2.5 system
     make world
     reboot

     Are there any significant changes such as /etc/* stuff
     in 2.2.8 that requires mergemaster when doing this
     round of upgrade ?

2) On 2.2.8, get 3.2 src and follow the instruction on the
     web.
     mergemaster
     make upgrade
     reboot

Is that correct ? I will properly document all the steps
after my upgrade  and should it be successful and send
it to the list for others.

Regards,
MCW

Ah, sorry. I thought the differences between 2.2.5 and 2.2.6 wouldn't be
much compared to the differences between 2.2.6 and 3.2. Evidently they are
too much :-)
